Merv was the original manager at Bilgoman Aquatic Centre and passed away on Sunday 25 August 2019 at the age of 86.
Merv worked for the Shire of Mundaring for 30 years from 1968 til 1998. He was the quintessential pool manager, professional, friendly and supportive of all the local kids and their families. Thankfully Merv was able to see and celebrate the most recent major upgrades to his pool.
Merv was also one of the founding members of Leisure Institute of Western Australia Aquatics and was recognised as a life member of this organisation.
Merv was a big man with a big heart and Shire and the hills community can thank Merv and his family for the wonderful work they did in the early years at Bilgoman.
Thank you to the Shire of Mundaring for the information and letting LMS know.
I would personally like to also thank Amy Holloway for sending the photo below of her Pop 'Merv' and her Daughter (Merv's Great Granddaughter).
